The worst thing you have done to your car?
Maybe it has been asked before but…..I hope I am not the only one.
My car still has only 6,000 miles or so but I have done some stupid stuff to it already….
I key scratched a 4 inch line by the gas cap cover trying to break ice off this winter…dooooh!!
I accidently left two cans of Diet Dew on the passenger seat this winter.. this happened a few times, but for some reason when it started to get warmer out…those cans exploded, leaving a nice “salt” stain on my Recaro seat.
I scratched the interior a bit carrying office stuff around when the agency I work for decided to move in February.
Now let me hear some of your stories please….blown motors, exploded trannys, maybe put your car in the ditch this winter??….I will feel better knowing…

Hey, I like your Balt...and I bought the Mustang when I was younger...wished I had bought the 90's style cavalier instead...FWD in winter around here....but 16 years later...I still like the STANG....
then again, you can buy the early 90 stangs for under 3 grand.....fun in summer, hated it in winter...

3) First day i got my strut bar i took a turn to fast and broke an axle and rim on a curb ($1500in damage)
4) Had a guy back into it while it was parked left to big dents in the front ($200 in damage)
5) Car got broken into, both front windows shattered ($500 in damage)
6) Some ******** **** flew off his flat bed and gave me a flat while doing 80 on the high which resorted in the left side fender being bent back from the impact of the tire flying off in shreds ($800 in damage)
7)I used to use sun shade holsters to hold my cds until i took a turn at 55mph and a cd flew into the slit of my window while it was down and broke the motor in the right side window...($100 in damage)
8) Had my idiot brother who drives a jetta tdi drive my car and he put 5 gallons of diesel in it
9)Had someone at my old school key a dick into the hood lmao ($20 in damage) luckily it buffed out with scratch remover lol
